I replaced the front control panel which quit working. It was not cooling. Now with the part replaced the heater will turn on but not the chiller. I use the chiller more than the heater. Is there some programming I need to do? Any advice appreciated as I am stuck... ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT

Just curious if anyone has had similar issues. After a storm I went to turn on the chiller. The button just started wildly clicking on and off until I turned it off at the breaker. The buttons on the front were unresponsive. I guess I may need to replace that button panel? Now the only way to...

Have to ask... I had to replace my IC40 so I have a dead IC40 laying around. This one wouldn't light up but power was good to the cell. Can these be taken apart? Can they be put back together again? Just hate seeing a cell with just two years on it laying around.

I had some electric issues after a storm. I got the pump going. Lost my Intellichlor and they are out of stock most places but I have tabs and liquid chlorine till I can get one. The Ultratemp chiller is my favorite item during 100+ degrees but it is not working either. It runs but compressor...

This is our 4th year with the pool and I had just bragged about how easy it has been to manage.... Sucker... DOOOM! We had some storms last night with lots of lightning so I turned off the power at the panel. After they passed I turned everything back on and assumed it would resume normal...

I got my pool put back together after snowmageddon. Finally got water balanced. The temp of the water is up to 65 so I thought I would test my Pentair Ultratemp Heater. The fan comes on and it starts up fine but I don't hear the heater kick on. I had turned everything off unplugged and drained...

After surviving the snowmageddon and really cold temps and a considerable amount of water replacement due to raining and draining. I did a fresh batch of tests today. I like the CSI indicator but it doesn't really give advice on what to do about it. That is unless it is so intuitive and I missed...

First winter in this situation: I keep my pool open all year. The ice storm warning does mean we could get power outages. Looking like a week of really cold. I'll keep pump running 24/7 but this is if we lose power My plan.. 1. remove drain plug for filter 2. remove drain plug pump 3. cover...

I like to leave my pool open all year because if we can't swim we it is beautiful to look at... Instead of COVID having me at home work and life has had me neglecting my pool chemistry. Since the SWG doesn't run due to cold I've added chlorine Pucks. The pucks should raise FC and CYA a bit. FC...

I recently raised my CH and CYA. current levels Does the salt cell need cleaning ? Should I have turned swg off while Increasing cya and ch ? It occurred to me as it can’t be a coincidence and I examined my swg two months ago... thanks

We are on our third season and have learned some lessons we wish we had known starting out. These things have had the most impact on making our paradise EASY. Hope this is an ok place to post this but our pool keeps getting easier to maintain... 1. TFP method and pool app - Never had a pool guy...

We finally bought a pool robot maytronics triton plus. I don't know what took me so long. This thing can clean the pool better in two hours than I could in six hours. Haven't named it or built it a home yet... If your on the fence about it all I can say is get one sooner better than later.

I'd like to get a light tan concrete stain. I don't want acrylic or anything that would peel. The concrete is in good shape. Does anyone have a product or process they would recommend??? thanks

I am looking at the various packages available for screenlogic. If I don't want to use the wireless pad can I just connect the screenlogic2 to my ps4 panel and run an ethernet cable to my router. I find this more stable. Then configure my firewall to allow the screenlogic to be used over my...

Ok so I am in IT and I can build large scale networks and wifi systems from scratch. Yet I am brought to my knees by a primitive looking pentair easytouch ps4. Just when I think I got it it teaches me a lesson. I don't even wanna do that much. Feasture Circuits 1. High Speed 2. Cleaner 1...

Too early to prep for spring lol... Yeah I am jumping the gun 8-) with arkansas weather you never know what is going to happen could swim in march or april... I've kept my pool clean and open during the winter I like to watch my pool in the mornings with coffee or nights with a gnt. FC 9.8 I...

Everything is on one variable speed pump. Waterfall does not function at the same speed it did. Skimmers don't seem to be doing a great job at skimming. I checked as far as a could to see if a line was clogged. Pulsed them. Checked the salt cell for a clog. Checked the pump for a clog. Took the...

Set Status I thought the problem was dirty filter so I cleaned mine very well the other day. I then increased the gpm to 83 to see if it would change. The maximum it wll run is 49gpm and says max psi. If I turn off the Pump button 1 and put it on F Circuit cleaner it runs full tilt and high...

All I can say is if you are thinking about an SWG just do it. The pool has been so much easier to maintain this year. I am comfortable enough to test once a week. The only thing I have to watch closely is PH everything else is really stable. Just do it.

I have my pump schedule set to 60gpm but it only runs at 49gpm. The message on console says MAXPSI. The filter says 27psi. My cleaner cycle still runs which much be a much higher PSI. I've never encountered this scenerio? The filters were cleaned a few weeks ago...

I try to add test results and it says to store unlimited logs Premium Subscription Required. I hit subscrbe etc and it says all is good. I try to add test results and no matter what I do reboot etc but it says Premium Subscription Required. Any idea. I'd like to keep using the app I pay to use...

I can't believe I lived without an SWG. It makes water managment so much easier. I am dialing down my run time and percentage as FC has been creeping up from 10. My goal is 6ppmFC. I'll get there. Now the only thing I have to go out and buy regularly is muratic acid to manage PH. The TA and CH...

Now that the Intellichlor is functioning I'll spend some time dialing it in. What I have noticed is that if the pool runs too low say 900rpm the intellichlor reports a low chlorine level 2300ppm but if I increase to say 2000rpm or higher the intellichlor reports closer to 4000ppm. Is this...

Already have questions. After the install the low salt light was on even though I tested it at 3400. The installers recommended adding some more salt so I added one bag and hours later the red light was still on. Then I added the second bag and an hour later the low salt light went off. I check...

I kept my pool open year round and kept chemicals in check and fairly clean. I just like to have it running as it looks nice. For the worst part of the winter I did leave a cover on the pool. The pool is grey plaster almost a year old. I noticed when I jumped in to start scrubbing the steps and...

We ordered a Pentair Intellichlor IC40. I originally thought I was ok doing this myself but the electrical dooesn't seem like something I wanna do. Any central Arkansas members know of someone who would do the install for cash or can recommend someone???? I left two messages with local companies...

I am getting ready for SWG so on advice from this forum I bought the Taylor SW test kit. I keep thinking I am doing something wrong.. Still might.... I tested three times so far and each time it is betwen 18 and 19 drops to turn the sample to salmon colored. That would put me around 3600 - 3800...

We had a crazy storm the other day. It opened my umbrella and lifted the umbrella and table tossit it 20 feet. The umbrella landed closed on the pool cover. The table landed close to the edge of the pool but the safety glass went all over the place. There is a some glass in the pool along the...

I kept my pool open this winter and I am glad I did as it was nice to sit on the porch have a cup of coffee and watch the waterfall. I did occasional testing to keep up and changed chemicals as needed nothing major. I am going to start adding bags of salt in preperation for adding the SWG this...

This was fun....I fell in the 60 degree water but didn't catch it on camera lol... It was bracing. Anyway we are going on vacation so we purchased a pool cover. I'm not sure this was the right way to install a solar cover but this is what we did... Solar Cover Time Lapse...
